Billionaire entrepreneur Kim Kardashian shocked and sparked controversy at the Met Gala 2024 with her tiny, wasp-like waist. The 43-year-old reality TV star dazzled in a stunning silver gown that dramatically cinched her waist, drawing comparisons to a surreal waist and a striking hourglass figure.
The gown was designed by John Galliano for the fashion house Maison Margiela, under the theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” To highlight the beauty of the sparkling gown, Kim opted not to wear any significant jewelry.
This isn’t the first time Kim Kardashian has left people in awe with her super tiny waist. Earlier this year, she sparked controversy when she wore a corset design by Mugler and shared photos on her personal social media account.
Her appearance at Met Gala 2022 also caused a stir. She lost nearly 10kg in just three weeks to fit into a famous gown worn by Marilyn Monroe. This rapid weight loss led to many debates about the potential health risks involved.
In 2019, Kim wore a corset gown designed by Thierry Mugler at the Met Gala, where she had to practice her breathing techniques due to the extreme tightness of the waist. She also revealed that she could neither sit nor eat while wearing this gown, which raised concerns among the public.
At the recent event, many people worried about Kim’s health when they saw her once again cinching her waist, questioning whether she could breathe normally with such a surreal waist.
Kim’s preference for corset-style gowns has faced criticism from the public. Many believe these designs not only pose health risks for women but also do not align with natural body standards, pushing women to pursue unrealistic beauty ideals.
To wear these corset-style designs, many beauties often need to lose weight significantly. Thus, some argue that these designs encourage eating disorders and self-starvation in the pursuit of unattainable beauty standards.
